<b><a href="https://south-asiasc.blogspot.co.id/">SOUTHASIAN STUDY CLUB (SASC/InSAF) </a></b>|| Perdana Menteri Pakistan Imran Khan menyebut langkah India mencabut status otonomi Jammu dan Kashmir serupa dengan yang dilakukan Nazi Adolf Hitler.<br />
<br />
Wilayah Kashmir yang diduduki India tetap terisolasi setelah pemerintah memutus komunikasi dan jaringan internet. Puluhan riu tentara India dikerahkan untuk mengantisipasi perlawanan setelah penghapusan status.<br />
<br />
CNN melaporkan, 12 Agustus 2019, sejumlah politisi ditahan dan jurnalis dilarang meliput. Kelompok HAM memperingatkan adanya pelanggaran HAM karena masyarakat internasional tidak bisa melihat apa yang terjadi di Kashmir.<br />
<br />
Pada Ahad, PM Khan menulis di Twitter membandingkan tindakan India yang serupa dengan Hitler.<br />
<br />
PM Khan menulis "tindakan India di Kashmir yang mayoritas Muslim adalah upaya untuk mengubah demografi Kashmir melalui pembersihan etnis" dan bertanya "apakah dunia akan menonton dan diam seperti yang mereka lakukan terhadap Hitler di Munich?"<br />
<br />
Pakta Munich 1938 adalah perjanjian antara Jerman, Inggris, Prancis dan Italia yang memungkinkan Nazi Jerman untuk mencaplok bagian dari Cekoslowakia.<br />
<br />
Imran Khan menggambarkan penghapusan Pasal 370 konstitusi India yang menjamin otonomi Kashmir sebagai "genosida yang akan datang" dan mengatakan ideologi nasionalis Hindu dari pemerintah India yang diperintah oleh Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Perdana Menteri Narendra Modi, terinspirasi oleh Nazi ideologi.<br />
<br />
"Ideologi Supremasi Hindu, seperti Supremasi Arya Nazi, tidak akan berhenti di Kashmir yang dikuasai India, sebaliknya itu akan mengarah pada penindasan umat Islam di India dan akhirnya mengarah pada penargetan Pakistan," kata Khan.<br />
<br />
Kicauan Twitter mengulang komentar yang dibuat Khan kepada parlemen pada hari Rabu, di mana dia mengatakan pemerintah India saat ini seperti partai Nazi Hitler.<br />
<br />
Kantor Perdana Menteri Pakistan mengatakan PM Imran Khan berupaya melibatkan para pemimpin dunia atas situasi di Kashmir, karena dia yakin langkah India untuk mengubah status kawasan itu melanggar resolusi Dewan Keamanan PBB.

<b><a href="https://south-asiasc.blogspot.co.id/">SOUTHASIAN STUDY CLUB (SASC/InSAF) </a></b>|| Otoritas penerbangan di Indonesia dan India mendorong lebih banyak pelatihan simulator untuk para pilot Boeing Co 737 MAX menyusul kecelakaan mematikan Lion Air, yang belum hilang dalam ingatan semua masyarakat.<br />
<br />
Permintaan ini merupakan wujud keraguan beberapa negara mengenai keaman pesawat Boeing 737 MAX.<br />
<br />
Dilansir dari Reuters (7/12), Chief Executive Officer Boeing Dennis Muilenburg mengatakan pada hari Kamis (6/12) bahwa dia sangat yakin mengenai keselamatan 737 MAX, versi terbaru.<br />
<br />
"Kami tahu pesawat kami aman, dan Kami belum mengubah filosofi desain kami." kata Dennis.<br />
<br />
Komentar Muilenburg datang pada hari yang sama ketika regulator penerbangan India mengatakan pilot 737 MAX harus dilatih pada simulator yang dapat mereplikasi dugaan skenario yang menyebabkan kecelakaan.<br />
<br />
Di lain pihak, Kementerian Perhubungan Indonesia mengatakan akan segera memberlakukan persyaratan baru untuk pelatihan simulator.<br />
<br />
Pada hari Kamis (6/12), Lion Air mengkonfirmasi laporan Reuters sebelumnya bahwa pihaknya sedang mempertimbangkan membatalkan pesanan 737 MAX setelah pesawat jet itu jatuh ke Laut Jawa pada 29 Oktober, menewaskan semua 189 orang di dalamnya.

<b><a href="https://south-asiasc.blogspot.co.id/">SOUTHASIAN STUDY CLUB (SASC/InSAF) </a></b>|| The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Thursday took a big step towards realising its second Moon mission this year with a fifth consecutive success in the use of an indigenous cryogenic engine to fire an improved version of its heavy-lift GSLV Mk II rocket to launch a satellite into space from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota.<br />
<br />
The GSLV F08, a fully operational version of ISRO’s GSLV Mk II rocket series, launched the GSAT 6A communication satellite into its orbit. “The major phases of the flight occurred as intended. About seventeen and a half minutes after lift-off, GSAT-6A was successfully placed in GTO,” ISRO said in an official post-launch statement.<br />
<br />
“Soon after separation from GSLV, the two solar arrays of GSAT-6A were automatically deployed in quick succession and the Master Control Facility (MCF) at Hassan in Karnataka assumed control of the satellite,” the statement said.<br />
<br />
The launch was the 12th satellite launched on board the GSLV rocket and the fifth consecutive success for a GSLV equipped with an indigenously developed Cryogenic Upper Stage engine.<br />
<br />
The liquid stage 2 Vikas engines on the GSLV F08 were significantly souped up for power when compared to the standard Vikas engines used on previous flights. Thursday’s GSLV-F08 flight was also the first GSLV flight under the stewardship of new ISRO Chairman K Sivan.<br />
<br />
The GSLV — specifically the GSLV F10 — is the designated rocket to fly India’s second mission to the Moon, the Chandrayaan 2, weighing around 3,290 kg, at the end of the year.<br />
<br />
The GSAT-6A built by ISRO is intended to provide mobile communication services through multibeam coverage. The satellite is equipped with S- and C-band transponders. The GSAT 6A was originally intended to be launched for the private firm Devas Multimedia to provide communication services in India, but the deal was scrapped by the UPA government in 2011 after it came under scrutiny for irregularities. Under the deal, ISRO was to build and launch the GSAT 6 and 6A at a cost of Rs 766 crore. The GSAT 6, weighing 2,117 kg and very similar to the GSAT 6A, was ultimately launched on the GSLV D6 in August 2015.<br />
<br />
The indigenous cryogenic stage on the GSLV is the third stage, and uses liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as oxidiser. Cryogenic stage is a highly efficient rocket stage that provides more thrust for every kg of propellant it burns compared to solid and earth-storable liquid propellant stages. The impulse achievable with cryo fluids is 450 seconds compared with 300 seconds for other fuels.<br />
<br />
According to space scientists, cryogenic engines provide unprecedented thrust to GSLV rockets in their final stages while keeping fuel loads relatively low. Nearly 50% of the power for GSLV rockets as they push into space comes from the cryogenic stage. India had first ventured on the path of obtaining cryogenic technology in 1992 with a two-pronged strategy of purchasing cryogenic engines from Russia, and acquiring the technology from the US. But following the 1998 nuclear tests and the sanctions that followed, the US denied India cryogenic technology.<br />
<br />
ISRO used seven cryogenic engines sold by Russia for the early phase of its GSLV programme that began in 2001, while parallely developing an indigenous technology. GSLV launches with Russian engines, including early operational flights, had mixed results, with only two flights going perfectly to plan. The first GSLV flight with an indigenous cryogenic upper stage failed on April 15, 2010.<br />
<br />
In the absence of heavy-lift rocket technology, India has been relying on France for launching its communication satellites. India is among six nations — along with the US, Russia, France, Japan and China — to possess cryogenic engine technology, a key frontier in rocket science.<br />
<br />
While ISRO has brought the GSLV Mk II to an operational phase, it is still in the process of developing a fully operational GSLV Mk III rocket, which can carry satellites weighing more than four tonnes to space. The GSLV Mk III D1 flight delivered a 3,136 kg GSAT-19 satellite — the heaviest launched from Indian soil — to a geosynchronous transfer orbit in June 2017.<br />
<br />
The cryogenic upper stage in the GSLV Mk III rocket, called the C25 engine, is an improvement on C20 cryogenic engines used in the GSLV Mk II rockets which entered the operational phase after over 25 years of development, in September 2016, following the successful flight of the GSLV F05 with a 2,211 kg INSAT-3DR weather satellite. A GSLV Mk III D2 rocket is scheduled to fly a GSAT 29 communication satellite to space in its second mission which is scheduled for the first half of 2018 by ISRO.

As part of expanding its global footprint, Bangladesh’s fast-growing pharmaceutical sector is looking for opportunities in Qatar. A “Meet the Bangladesh“event held at Doha Bank headquarters, discussed potential Bangladesh-Qatar partnership possibilities in the pharma sector.<br />
<br />
Bangladesh pharmaceutical industry has been making tremendous progress over the past few years. Bangladeshi drugs and medicine is now being exported to more than 140 countries around the world and leading players are making forays into the most regulated markets of Europe, USA, Canada and Australia, Ashud Ahmed, Bangladesh’s ambassador to Qatar, told The Peninsula.<br />
<br />
Recently, WTO/TRIPS has extended the pharma patent waiver period till January 2033 for Bangladesh and other LDC countries which will help further strengthen their pharma capabilities.<br />
<br />
“As the sector attracts large investments, more companies are now getting certified by the global regulatory authorities. with government initiatives and policy support, Bangladesh has huge potential to emerge as a global generic drug hub. Besides, the pharma sector of Bangladesh is preparing for large scale production of bulk drugs as country’s Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Park is now almost ready, and this will make this sector more competitive”, said Nazmul Hassan, Bangladesh Association of Pharmaceutical Industires (BAPI).<br />
<br />
The event was well-attended by leading corporates who were keen to hear more about Bangladesh- Qatar bilateral relationships and to explore further business opportunities with Doha Bank.<br />
<br />
Addressing the event, the Bangladesh’s ambassador gave insight on Qatar Bangladesh bilateral relationships, the role of Bangladeshi people in Qatar economy in sectors such as teaching, Banking and infrastructure. He also highlighted that there are more areas where Qatar and Bangladesh can explore such as trade, tourism and pharmaceutical industry.<br />
<br />
Dr R Seetharaman, CEO, Doha Bank said: “Bangladesh Budget for 2017-18 had kept a growth target of 7.4 percent with a fiscal deficit which is 5 percent of the GDP.The Bangladesh monetary policy for July-December sets a domestic credit growth ceiling at 15.8 percent, a level consistent with growth and inflation objectives.”<br />
<br />
On Qatar – Bangladesh bilateral relationships, the Doha Bank CEO said: “Qatar trade is close to $173m in 2015-16. In September 2017 RasGas Company has entered into a 15-year sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation. It will supply 2.5 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per annum to Bangladesh as part of the country’s efforts to diversify its export markets.There is immense potential of skilled and professionally qualified workforce in Bangladesh that can help Qatar in meeting its National Vision 2030 and in hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2022.There are opportunities in global generic drugs and Bangladesh is an emerging generic hub in Asia. The Qatar- Bangladesh bilateral relationships have immense potential.”<br />
<br />
Dr Yousef Al Maslamani, Medical Director, Hamad General Hospital highlighted the importance of symbiosis between people, corporations and countries in building working relationships.<br />
<br />
S M Shafiuzzaaman, Secretary General of Bangladesh Association of Pharmaceutical Industries highlighted on the opportunities in generic drugs. The pharmaceutical size had exceeded $2bn. There are modern factories in Bangladesh and exports are faster to leading countries in the World. The quality standards of Bangladesh products can meet requirements anywhere in the world and products are at competitive prices.<br />
<br />
Addressing the event, Mohammed bin Ahmed bin Towar Al Kuwari, Vice chairman of Qatar Chamber (QC) stated that the Qatar Chamber of Commerce will look for opportunities to explore trade and economic relationships between Qatar- Bangladesh with focus on Bangladesh pharmaceutical sector.<br />
<br />
A keynote presentation on “Economic Growth and Attractive Opportunities in Bangladesh” was presented by Mohammad Shafiqul Islam, a telecom marketing professional working in Qatar.

Dr. Ansar Pervez Member Power National Command Authority and former Chairman PAEC has said that Pakistan needs 40000 MW electricity by 2030 and to achieve this target, Pakistan has to exploits all resources including nuclear one. He was speaking at a Seminar on “ Pakistan: Peaceful Use of nuclear technology and Politics of Nuclear Suppliers’ group. Dr. Ansar added that by 2020/21, Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission will be able to provide 3400 MW electricity to the national grid. By May 2017, it will provide approximately 1440 MW electricity through nuclear source which is sustainable and ultimately cheap. Further, this source of energy has no environmental impact as there is no carbon emission.<br />
<br />
The initial cost is high but finally, when debts are paid, it will cost Rs.5/per unit as it is true in the case of Chashma one. He said that today electricity’s short fall is 3500 MW. Speaking on the occasion Najamuddin sheikh former Ambassador and former secretary foreign affairs recalled that after Indian atomic bomb detonation in 1974, Henry Kissinger the Foreign Minister of United, visited India and met Indian Premier Indra Ghandhi and said that whatever has happened, “ Happened.” No other country, hereafter, be allowed to be nuclear. He apparently meant Pakistan. Kissinger then met Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. What he said to Bhutto, we do not know but after Bhutto determined to develop nuclear bomb. He went up to the extent to say “ We will make the bomb even if we reach to this level that we have nothing to eat except grass Pakistan still make atomic bomb. It seems that NSG was also organized to not let Pakistan become Nuclear. Khalid Banuri Former Director General Arm Control and Disarmament Affairs in his presidential address of second session said India is irresponsible nuclear state.<br />
<br />
The region and the world has been at risk. India supported USA is ambitious to join NSG where it fails to provide qualifying credentials which Pakistan does. Pakistan fully qualifies to be member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group.<br />
<br />
The membership has been politicized. No-Proliferation (NPT) has developed good and bad situation. Many countries could not become nuclear and those which have become nuclear are denied the acceptance. That will change the whole scenario and the world shall become from uni-polar to multipolar. Prof. Dr. Talaat A. Wizarat emphasized the civil use of nuclear technology by saying that Agriculture, health and energy is serving the people of Pakistan. She herself is beneficiary of this technology.<br />
<br />
Pakistan has done very well in this field. Prof. Tanweer Khalid a political scientist said that India obtained nuclear technology for prestige and Pakistan for its defense. Pakistan is a responsible country and qualifies to be the member of NSG. Dr. Zafar Ai Yousufzai Director General strategic Export control division blamed that world powers are supporting the membership of India though it least qualifies for membership of this group. Pakistan’s credentials are too strong for membership. But world is shying out in Pakistan’s case.<br />
<br />
Mr. Nusrat Mirza Chairman Rabita Forum international in his speech said discrimination has been against for NSG though fully qualify the membership. Other speakers were Haleema Saadia, Dr. Zafar Nawaz Jaspal and Dr. Rizvana Siddiqi from Islamabad.

Indonesia terus mengecam uji coba rudal balistik yang dilakukan Korea Utara. Selain menyebabkan ketidakstabilan di wilayah Asia, Indonesia juga terus menyerukan perdamaian yang tidak akan tercapai jika ada ancaman nuklir.<br />
<br />
Direktur Keteknikan dan Kesiapsiagaan Nuklir Badan Pengawas Nuklir (BAPETEN) Dedik Eko Sumargo menuturkan uji coba nuklir dari Korea Utara mestinya dijadikan pelecut bagi Indonesia untuk terus mengembangkan sistem kemampuan siap siaga dan keamanan nuklir.<br />
<br />
"Ancaman (nuklir) sudah jelas ada, tinggal tunggu Korea Utara lupa mencet dan mas Donald Trump juga lupa mencet," ujar Dedik dalam acara Nuklir: Ancaman dan Manfaat, di Kementerian Luar Negeri, Rabu (17/5).<br />
<br />
Menurut dia, Indonesia sudah membangun keamanan nuklir dan akan segera dioperasionalkan. Pertahanan yang berlapis juga tengah dibangun sebagai kesiapan Indonesia jika ada bom atom negara lain menyasar ke Tanah Air.<br />
<br />
Meski demikian, Dedik tidak menampik jika ada nuklir dilontarkan, seperti misalnya dari Korut, akan berdampak ke Indonesia. Pengecaman uji coba rudal Pyongyang oleh Indonesia ini ternyata sebagai bentuk mengurangi dampak yang akan terjadi. Dedik menjelaskan, dampak radiasi yang masuk ke Indonesia bisa melalui udara dan air.<br />
<br />
"Sistem kita tidak mulai dari zero, kita sudah bangun sistem, tapi kalau jeblug (meledak) di (negara) tetangga kita harus siap siagakan nuklir. Dan, kalau nuklir itu jatuh ke Pulau Jawa ya kita cuma bisa tahlilan," paparnya.<br />
<br />
"Sistem kita yang ada cuma pagari dan tangkal ancaman yang berada dari luar, kalau bom masuk ke Indonesia ya kita cuma punya sistem doa nasional," imbuh dia.<br />
<br />
Akhir pekan lalu, Korea Utara kembali meluncurkan misil balistik mereka. Misil tersebut diklaim sebagai pengembangan rudal jarak jauh yang kemungkinan bisa sampai dan menghancurkan daratan Amerika.

Korea Utara (Korut) tengah berusaha meraih dukungan negara-negara Asia Tenggara dalam pertikaiannya dengan Amerika Serikat (AS). Dalam suratnya kepada ASEAN, Korut memperingatkan 'bencana nuklir' berpotensi terjadi di Semenanjung Korea.<br />
<br />
Seperti dilansir AFP, Jumat (28/4/2017), Menteri Luar Negeri (Menlu) Korut Ri Yong-Ho mengirimkan surat kepada Sekjen ASEAN atau Asosiasi Negara-negara Asia Tenggara. Dalam surat itu, Ri memperingatkan soal situasi di Semenanjung Korea yang 'ada di ujung perang' karena aksi AS.<br />
<br />
Ri mendorong Sekjen ASEAN untuk memberitahu para Menlu dari 10 negara anggota ASEAN soal 'situasi genting' di Semenanjung Korea. Dalam surat itu, Ri juga mengkritik latihan gabungan AS dengan Korea Selatan (Korsel) beberapa waktu terakhir.<br />
<br />
Ketegangan semakin meningkat beberapa pekan terakhir, setelah Korut menggelar serangkaian uji coba rudal. AS menyambutnya dengan berbagai retorika keras yang memancing perang dengan Korut.<br />
<br />
Salinan surat Korut kepada ASEAN yang bertanggal 23 Maret itu didapatkan oleh AFP pada Kamis (27/4) waktu setempat, menjelang digelarnya KTT Pemimpin ASEAN di Manila, Filipina. Isu Korut diperkirakan akan ikut dibahas dalam pertemuan itu.<br />
<br />
"Saya menyampaikan harapan saya agar ASEAN, yang memegang peranan sangat penting untuk perdamaian dan stabilitas kawasan, akan membahas isu latihan militer gabungan AS-Korsel dalam konferensi-konferensi ASEAN secara adil dan memainkan peran aktif dalam mengawal perdamaian dan keamanan Semenanjung Korea," demikian bunyi surat Korut itu.<br />
<br />
Korut diketahui memiliki hubungan dekat dengan beberapa negara anggota ASEAN, termasuk Kamboja dan Laos. Namun beberapa waktu lalu, ASEAN menyatakan ketidaksepakatannya dengan ambisi nuklir Korut.<br />
<br />
Surat dari Menlu Korut kepada Sekjen ASEAN ini tergolong sangat tidak biasa. Seorang diplomat Asia Tenggara menyatakan, sejauh yang dia ingat, ini merupakan pertama kalinya Korut mengirimkan surat meminta bantuan ASEAN untuk isu di kawasannya.<br />
<br />
Dalam suratnya, Ri menyebut latihan militer gabungan AS-Korsel yang digelar setiap tahun, menjadi pembenaran bagi Korut untuk mengembangkan senjata nuklirnya.<br />
<br />
"Ini menjadi fakta jelas bagi semua pihak bahwa, ketika mereka melancarkan serangan nuklir yang bisa membawa Semenanjung Korea ke dalam bencana nuklir hanya dalam beberapa detik... latihan semacam ini tidak mungkin bersifat defensif," sebut isi surat Korut itu.

Indonesia has opened the "Wonderful Indonesia" restaurant in the ancient Chinese town of Luoyang in an effort to promote the variety of culinary products of the country.<br />
<br />
The deputy for overseas tourism marketing of the ministry of tourism, I Gde Pitana, inaugurated the restaurant, named after the countrys tourism brand name, at Hotel Peony Plaza on Saturday (April 1st).<br />
<br />
"Culinary has become an effective means of promotion. It also has the potential to become an entry point to tourism. Unlike in the past when we used culture, arts, or sports as a means of promotion, we will use culinary at present," he noted in his statement received here.<br />
<br />
He had cooperated with Peony Plaza Hotel, one of the most popular four-star rated hotels in Luoyang, for the promotion.<br />
<br />
"We did not invest in a large amount for the cooperation. We only trained three chefs in Luoyang to handle Indonesian foods and spread information about it," he stated.<br />
<br />
The hotel management had agreed to provide a full space on the 25th floor with a capacity of around 125 seats, he remarked.<br />
<br />
This is the first rotary restaurant in the city where visitors could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Luoyang while dining on a rotating restaurant on the 25th floor.<br />
<br />
A Wonderful Indonesia restaurant has earlier been opened in Anhui, China, while more restaurants could be opened in various other provinces in China in future.<br />
<br />
Pitana pointed out that the cooperation and promotion model would also be done in other target countries.<br />
<br />
"After experiencing the Indonesian nuance, we plan to invite tourism agencies, travel bureaus, journalists, and restaurant owners in Luoyang to join a trip to Indonesia in May," he reiterated.<br />
<br />
Luoyang Peony Plaza Hotels Board of Management President Wei Dong remarked that he had agreed to provide one floor exclusively for Wonderful Indonesia Restaurant, because of the potential that could be developed from the Indonesian culinary products.<br />
<br />
"The relations between the people of Luoyang and Indonesia have existed for thousand years. A lot of Luoyang people are curious about Bali as well as other parts of Indonesia. So with the presence of Wonderful Indonesia, we will strive to attract more people to dine here," he asserted.<br />
<br />
Wei Dong believed that Indonesian foods could receive good response from the people in his country.<br />
<br />
Luoyang Peony Hotel is one of the state-owned hotels and is the biggest in Luoyang. (<b><a href="http://www.antaranews.com/en/news/110262/wonderful-indonesia-restaurant-opened-in-ancient-chinese-town">source</a></b>)</div>

Malayalam /mʌləˈjɑːləm/(മലയാളം, Malayāḷam [mɐləjaːɭəm]) is a language spoken in India, predominantly in the state of Kerala. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and was designated as a Classical Language in India in 2013.[5] It was developed to the current form mainly by the influence of the poet Thunchaththu Ezhuthachan in the 16th century.<br />
<br />
Malayalam has official language status in the state of Kerala and in the union territories of Lakshadweep and Puducherry. It belongs to the Dravidian family of languages and is spoken by some 38 million people. Malayalam is also spoken in the neighboring states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; with significant speakers in the Nilgiris, Kanyakumari and Coimbatore districts of Tamil Nadu, and Dakshina Kannada of Karnataka.<br />

Berikut tiga berita dari dalam negeri:<br />
<br />
Dari Kontan:<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://internasional.kontan.co.id/news/jp-morgan-dituding-menggelapkan-dana-investor">JP Morgan dituding menggelapkan dana investor</a></b><br />
<br />
Dugaan penggelapan tersebut diperkirakan merugikan investor lebih dari US$22 miliar. Gugatan yang disampaikan oleh Jaksa Agung New York, Eric Schneiderman, menilai Bear Stearns gagal memastikan kualitas saham yang didukung oleh kredit properti.<br />
<br />
Masih dalam gugatan yang sama, tertulis bahwa "Secara sistematis bank gagal mengevaluasi pinjaman secara penuh, mengabaikan kelemahan yang tidak terungkap dalam kajian terbatas yang dilakukan bank dan membiarkan para investor dalam kebingungan tentang prosedur kajian yang tidak memenuhi kelayakan".<br />
<br />
Tak terima atas tuduhan yang dilayangkan,<b> JP Morgan Chase</b> menyatakan akan melakukan pembelaan diri tuntutan tersebut.<br />
<br />
"Gugatan ini sepenuhnya menyangkut sejarah tindakan tersebut," jelas JP Morgan. Bear Stearns diakuisisi JP Morgan atas permintaan pemerintah Amerika Serikat.<br />
<br />
Kejaksaan Agung di New York meminta JP Morgan membayar uang yang jumlahnya tidak disebutkan kepada para investor sebagai ganti rugi. Kompensasi tersebut ditujukan sebagai ganti rugi yang disebabkan secara langsung atau tidak langsung akibat tindakan penipuan dan pengelabuan.<br />
<br />
Kasus ini merupakan usaha terbaru pihak berwenang untuk meminta JP Morgan bertanggung jawab atas tindakan yang menyebabkan krisis keuangan pada 2008.<br />
<br />
Dari Tempo:<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://m.tempo.co/read/news/2014/01/06/090542628/penipuan-jpmorgan-akan-membayar-us-2-miliar">Penipuan: JPMorgan Akan Membayar US$ 2 Miliar </a></b><br />
<br />
Sengketa JP Morgan Chase & Co yang melibatkan Bernard Madoff senilai US$ 2 miliar dengan pemerintah federal bakal selesai. <b>JP Morgan</b> akan membayar lebih dari US$ 1 miliar kepada jaksa di Manhattan. Sisanya untuk kantor pengawas nilai tukar, serta satu unit kantor departemen keuangan yang menyelidiki kerusakan dalam pengamanan bank terhadap pencucian uang.<br />
<br />
Hal ini dilakukan untuk mengatasi kecurigaan bahwa bank JPMorgan Chase & Co mengabaikan tanda-tanda penggelapan yang dilakukan Bernard Madoff. Penyelesaian kasus pidana dan perdata bank juga akan dilakukan dengan perjanjian penangguhan penuntutan. Namun, sebelumnya bank harus mengakui fakta-fakta kasus ini dan mengubah perilakunya. JPMorgan Chase & Co merupakan bank terbesar di Amerika Serikat dan bank terbesar kedua di dunia bila dihitung dari nilai asetnya yang mencapai US$ 2,509 triliun.<br />
<br />
Pemerintah berencana menggunakan sebagian dana ini untuk membayar korban penipuan Madoff. Madoff digugat pada 2009 karena menipu ribuan investor dan dihukum penjara selama 150 tahun. JPMorgan dituduh mengabaikan tanda-tanda penipuan Madoff dan sering memenangkan lebih banyak komisi untuk jasa Madoff.<br />
<br />
Juru bicara JP Morgan, Joseph Evangelisti, menolak berkomentar ketika dihubungi Reuters. Koran The New York Times menyebutkan, setelah penyelesaian sengketa Madoff, JPMorgan akan membayar sebesar US$ 20 juta untuk menyelesaikan investigasi pemerintah selama 12 bulan terakhir.<br />
<br />
Bulan lalu, pejabat pemerintah mengatakan, Inspektur Jenderal Departemen Keuangan Amerika Serikat sedang memeriksa apakah JP Morgan mengganggu upaya Kantor Pengawas Nilai Tukar dalam menyelidiki hubungan bank dengan Madoff. Madoff secara terpisah pernah mengatakan kepada pihak berwenang Amerika Serikat bahwa JP Morgan--bank yang digunakannya untuk melakukan penipuan jangka panjang--telah mencoba menghentikan Kantor Pengawas Nilai Tukar untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang hubungan mereka.<br />
<br />
<br />
Dari Detik:<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://finance.detik.com/moneter/2461186/bank-raksasa-ini-bayar-ganti-rugi-kasus-penipuan-rp-31-triliun">Bank Raksasa Ini Bayar Ganti Rugi Kasus Penipuan Rp 31 Triliun</a></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Bank Raksasa asal Amerika Serikat (AS) <b>JPMorgan Chase </b>harus membayar US$ 2,6 miliar (Rp 31,2 triliun) denda dan ganti rugi korban penipuan skema ponzi yang dilakukan Bernard Madoff.<br />
<br />
Pembayaran ganti rugi ini yang dilayangkan oleh jaksa penuntut di pengadilan negara AS ini sudah disepakati pada Selasa waktu setempat.<br />
<br />
Seperti dikutip dari AFP, Rabu (8\/1\/2013), JPMorgan terbukti bersalah atas tuntutan tersebut karena dinilai gagal mencegah program pencucian uang dan tidak melaporkan transaksi mencurigakan yang dilakukan oleh Madoff.<br />
<br />
Sebaanyak US$ 2,24 miliar akan dibayarkan kepada para korban penipuan Madoff, dan US$ 350 juta sisanya dibayar sebagai denda ke pemerintah.<br />
<br />
Selain krisis, pasar finansial dunia pada 2008 lalu digegerkan oleh kasus penipuan melalui \\\'Skema Ponzi\\\' oleh Bernard Madoff. Jumlah penipuannya pun bikin kita geleng-geleng kepala karena mencapai US$ 50 miliar (Rp 500 triliun).<br />
<br />
Sementara korban-korbannya pun bukanlah sekedar investor kelas teri, melainkan investor dari kalangan perbankan besar seperti HSBC. Madoff melakukan penipuan melalui perusahaan investasinya yakni Madoff Investment Securities.<br />
<br />
Apa sebenarnya Skema Ponzi?<br />
<br />
Skema Ponzi merupakan sebuah istilah untuk praktek kotor dalam bisnis keuangan yang menjanjikan pemberian keuntungan berlipat ganda yang jauh lebih tinggi dari keuntungan bisnis riil bagi investor yang mau menyimpan dana investasinya lebih lama di perusahaan investasi seperti sekuritas, bank, asuransi ataupun investment banking. Para invesor umumnya tidak tahu dan tidak mau tahu dari mana perusahaan membayar keuntungan yang dijanjikan.<br />
<br />
Nama Ponzi diambil dari seorang penipu bernama Charles Ponzi yang tinggal di Boston, AS. Ponzi terkenal dengan penipuannya karena menawarkan investasi berupa transaksi spekulasi perangko AS terhadap perangko asing di era 1919-1920.<br />
<br />
Dalam penelusuran detikFinance, Ponzi mendirikan \\\'The Security Exchange Company\\\' pada 26 Desember 1919, yang menjanjikan investasi dengan balas jasa 40% dalam 90 hari. Padahal kala itu bunga bank pada saat itu hanya 5% per tahun. Tidak sampai satu tahun, diperkirakan sekitar 40.000 orang mempercayakan sekitar US$ 15 juta atau sekarang senilai US$ 140 juta dalam perusahaannya.<br />
<br />
Untung yang dijanjikan Ponzi ternyata hasil tambal sulam. Pada pertengahan Agustus 1920, audit oleh pemerintah terhadap usaha Ponzi menemukan bahwa Ponzi sudah bangkrut. Total aset yang dimilikinya sekitar US$ 1,6 juta, jauh di bawah nilai utangnya kepada investor<br />
<br />
Skema penipuan ini juga sering terjadi di Indonesia. Ada sebuah perusahaan menjanjikan keuntungan besar, namun sebenarnya keuntungan itu dibayar dengan dana yang masuk dari anggota baru. Tidak pernah ada investasi riil. Kasus besar yang pernah terjadi adalah penipuan PT Qurnia Subur Alam Raya atau QSAR yang menggelapkan dana nasabah melalui investasi agribisnisnya.<br />
<br />
Nah, yang dilakukan oleh investor kawakan Wall Street, Bernard Madoff juga sedemikian. Madoff menggunakan dana dari investor baru untuk membayar bunga investor lama.<br />
<br />
Nilainya terus bertumpuk-tumpuk hingga mencapai US$ 50 miliar. Penipuan Madoff baru terungkap setelah para investor menarik dananya sehubungan dengan krisis finansial. Di situ baru diketahui bahwa Madoff sudah kehabisan dana.<br />
<br />
Korban-korban Madoff pun bersuara. Berikut daftar korban penipuan Madoff:<br />
<br />
-Bapepam Spanyol mengungkapkan, lembaga investasi Spanyol yang memiliki eksposure langsung di perusahaan investasi Madoff mencapai US$ 147 juta.<br />
<br />
-Santander mengakui adanya potensi kerugian hingga US$ 3 miliar dari Madoff Investment Securities.<br />
-Aozora Bank memiliki eksposure di investasi Madoff senilai US$ 137 juta<br />
-Niponkoa Insurace Co dan Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance dan Daiwa Securities juga sudahmengakui adanya potensi kerugian beberapa ratus juta yen.<br />
-Nomura Holdings dengan eksposure 27,5 miliar yen.<br />
-Bank swasta Austria, Medici mengakui eksporuse US$ 2,1 miliar melalui dua lembaga investasinya.<br />
-Fortis dengan eksposure US$ 1,2 miliar<br />
-HSBC dengan eksposure US$ 1 miliar.<br />
-Kasus penipuan terbesar dalam sejarah pasar finansial AS ini turut mencorang citra Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) atau Badan Pengawas Pasar Modal (Bapepam) AS. Para investor mempertanyakan bagaimana bisa SEC kebobolan oleh penipuan yang sudah berlangsung hingga bertahun-tahun.<br />
<br />
Para investor mengkritik kemampuan SEC mengawasi pasar. SEC sebelumnya juga dinilai gagal mengawasi pasar sehingga produk-produk spekulatif beredar dengan liar dan berujung pada krisis finansial. Kini mereka mengecam SEC karena penipuan yang sudah berlangsung bertahun-tahun bisa terjadi tanpa terendus sedikitpun.<br />
<br />
Padahal sejumlah peringatan sudah diberikan terkait penawaran investasi Madoff ini. Termasuk artikel sebuah artikel di koran \\\'Barron\\\' pada tahun 2001, yang mempertanyakan return hingga 2 digit selama setahun yang ditawarkan Madoff. Sayang peringatan itu tampaknya diabaikan baik para investor kakap itu sendiri dan SEC sebagai pengawas.</div>

Pakistan’s Minister of Defence Production (MoDP) Rana Tanveer Hussain was recently quoted by local media (The Nation, Dunya News) outlining Pakistan Aeronautical Complex’s (PAC) plans to export 100 new MFI-395 Super Mushshak trainers.<br />
<br />
Coming off a spate of successful sales to Nigeria, Qatar, and Turkey (which accounts for PAC’s single largest Super Mushshak sale at 52 units), PAC is talks to sell Super Mushshaks to Azerbaijan and the Maldives.<br />
<br />
Mr. Hussain added that the JF-17 multi-role fighter will also secure overseas sales in 2017.<br />
<br />
The MFI-395 Super Mushshak is a significantly upgraded variant of the Saab MFI-17 Supporter, which was assembled from knockdown kits in Pakistan in the 1980s.<br />
<br />
In 1995, PAC began developing an indigenously manufactured version of the Supporter. The MFI-395 is powered by a Lycoming IO-540 260 hp engine, which powers a two-bladed propeller from Hartzell.<br />
<br />
PAC rolled out its first MFI-395 in November 2000 and in May 2001, it conducted the Super Mushshak’s maiden test flight. Since then, the Super Mushshak has been procured by many overseas users.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In what rights advocates regard as an important test case for press freedom in Bhutan, a prominent journalist is facing a defamation suit for sharing a Facebook post documenting a property dispute involving a local businessman.<br />
<br />
The journalist, Namgay Zam, has been accused of libel by the businessman, Sonam Phuntsho, in what Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay has called a landmark case that could shape proposed restrictions on social media usage in Bhutan. The post includes allegations that Mr. Phuntsho had garnered favors from the country’s judiciary, where his son-in-law is chief justice.<br />
<br />
Ms. Zam, a former television presenter with the state-run Bhutan Broadcasting Service, and the woman who wrote the post, Shacha Wangmo, face a maximum fine of about $38,000 — around 15 times the country’s annual per capita income — or up to three years in prison if convicted.<br />
<br />
Ms. Zam and Ms. Wangmo presented evidence at a district court in Thimphu, the capital, on Monday.<br />
<br />
Known for its adherence to “gross national happiness,” a development indicator that values levels of well-being over economic indicators such as gross domestic product, Bhutan was considered a success story in South Asia when it held peaceful democratic elections in 2008, after a century as an absolute monarchy.<br />
<br />
But some say the case exposes fault lines in the country’s record of protecting its constitutional freedoms of speech and of the press. Because many public officials and institutions have ties to the popular royal family, journalists cite a high level of self-censorship that deters Bhutanese from criticizing the elite.<br />
<br />
A 2014 report from the Journalist Association of Bhutan found that a majority of the 119 respondents felt “unsafe” covering certain types of events. Many of the respondents also said it was difficult to gain access to information in the country, citing few resources and little institutional support.<br />
<br />
Ms. Zam said that because of her actions she had been called “antinational” by some sections of Bhutanese society.<br />
<br />
“What’s not coming out in national media comes out in social media, and oftentimes, it is the truth,” she said in an interview. “Media freedom is diminishing. We had our high point in 2008, during the first democratic elections, but it’s just been a downward spiral since then.”<br />
<br />
Sarah Repucci, senior director of global publications at Freedom House, a nonprofit group that releases an annual report on press freedom, said the case could affect Bhutan’s rating on the list, which she said was “consistently mediocre.”<br />
<br />
“We have not in recent years documented cases specifically against journalists,” she said, but she noted that certain topics in Bhutan, including the expulsion of thousands of residents of Nepalese descent from the country, are still considered taboo.<br />
<br />
Mr. Phuntsho’s son-in-law, Dasho Tshering Wangchuk, the chief justice of Bhutan, said in an interview that he believed free speech existed in the country, but that social media “guidelines” were needed, in part to protect the “sovereignty and security” of a small country like Bhutan, which is sandwiched between the regional superpowers, China and India.<br />
<br />
“This particular social activist is a very popular young lady and a lot of impressionable young people follow her,” he said of Ms. Zam. “For them, whatever she writes is the gospel truth. That becomes dangerous.”<br />
<br />
“Like in the judiciary, also, you must have your code of ethics,” he said, referring to the state of journalism in the country. “The court will not force them to divulge some source. But then we must all remember that your fundamental rights are not absolute. It’s subject to reasonable restrictions.”<br />

A ship brought Bangladesh’s first submarines to Chittagong Port on Thursday evening, Port Secretary Omar Faruk told bdnews24.com. <br />
<br />
The conventional submarines christened ‘Nabajatra’ and ‘Joyjatra’ were handed over to Bangladesh on Nov 14.<br />
<br />
Chinese Rear Admiral Liu Zizhu handed the submarines over to Bangladesh Navy chief Admiral Nizamuddin Ahmed during a ceremony at a Dalian city shipyard at Liaoning province.<br />
<br />
At the programme, Admiral Nizamuddin said the Bangladesh Navy had commenced its journey as a 'three-dimensional' force after acquiring the two submarines.<br />

He praised China for furbishing the submarines and training their crew.<br />
<br />
‘Nabajatra’ and ‘Joyjatra’ are each 76 metres long and 7.6 metres wide.<br />
<br />
The type 035G diesel electric submarines, armed with torpedoes and mines, are able to attack enemy ships and submarines, the ISPR said.<br />
<br />
A 'sea trial' was held successfully following the training of navy officers and mariners for bringing the submarines to Bangladesh.<br />

SASC -- Real estate investors in Pakistan are peaking their interest in Dubai's property market, with enquiries rising "significantly" during the first six months of 2016, according to propertytrader.ae.<br />
<br />
The real estate portal said searches on its website from would-be buyers from Pakistan have peaked this month, ahead of the 15th edition of Cityscape Global in Dubai.<br />
<br />
Pakistan is often ranked among major investors in the Dubai real estate industry behind the UK, India, and Russia but new statistics from propertytrader.ae suggest its influence is rising.<br />
<br />
“It has been an eventful first half of the year with Brexit and other economic factors shaping international property trends,” said Umer Ali, sales and marketing director, propertytrader.ae.<br />
<br />
“So it is interesting to see this gradual, but definite rise in interest over just a few months from one country – Pakistan. There is clearly great interest there in the upcoming Cityscape Global and the opportunities it will inevitably highlight. August’s spike in searches is no coincidence.”<br />
<br />
Ali said that Pakistan accounted for 10 percent of all searches on the site in August – rising dramatically from 3 percent in January. This placed the country in the top three for the first time this year, nudging out the UK.<br />
<br />
In second position in August was Russia with 18 percent of all searches, with the UAE in first place at 48 percent.<br />
<br />
Ali said it is estimated that Pakistanis have made an investment of around AED31 billion in the Dubai property market during the past five years. <br />
<br />
Cityscape Global 2016, will take place on September 6-8 at Dubai World Trade Centre.<br />

Amar and Kundan Singh Pundir are brothers. Younger brother Amar breaks rocks in a mine for a living. Kundan farms their small piece of inherited land. They live in a beautiful but remote hillside village in the clouds of Himachal Pradesh, India.<br />
<br />
Both aged in their forties, the two brothers have lived together nearly their whole lives. They are poor and share just about everything: Their home, their work and a wife.<br />
<br />
"See we have a tradition from the beginning to have a family of five to 10 people. Two brothers and one wife." Kundan says.<br />
<br />
They practice what is known as fraternal polyandry -- where the brothers of one family marry the same woman. Why? Tradition and economics Life is hard here. The village is precariously perched on the side of a very steep hill about 6,000ft up. Most of the villagers survive off tiny plots of cropland.<br />

Four Dalit men were chained to a car, stripped and beaten up by cow protection vigilantes in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district, police said on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
The attack took place on Monday. A video purportedly recorded by the attackers and shared online shows the four men chained to a car and being beaten with iron rods.<br />
<br />
The victims, belonging to a Dalit community at Mota Samadiyara village of Una taluka, claimed that they were skinning an already dead cow, but the six accused said the animal was killed before being skinned, police said.<br />
<br />
“We have arrested three persons in this connection while three others are absconding. We have also called a team of forensic science laboratory experts and veterinary doctors to ascertain if the cow was already dead before being skinned or was killed for skin,” Gir Somnath district’s deputy superintendent of police KM Joshi said.<br />
<br />
According to the FIR, the six accused — identified as Ramesh Giri, Balwant Simer, Ramesh Bhagwan, Rakesh Joshi, Rasikbhai and Nagjibhai Vaniya — came in a car and began abusing the villagers on finding that they were skinning a cow.<br />
<br />
They then allegedly took out iron rods from their car and started beating them up. Two people sustained severe head injuries and were referred to Junagadh civil hospital for treatment, Joshi said.<br />
<br />
According to the complainant, Vasrambhai Sarvaiya, the accused also took away their mobile phones.<br />
<br />
Cow protection vigilante groups have been active in various parts of the country against slaughter of cows and consumption of beef. Several state governments too have tightened laws on both. In one of the most brutal attacks over cow protection, 52-year-old Mohammad Akhlaq was lynched in Bisada village near Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, by a Hindu mob for allegedly killing a calf for meat.<br />

SASC -- Nepal's adoption of a new federal constitution has led to a souring of ties with its giant neighbour India.<br /><br />The document defines the majority Hindu nation as a secular republic divided into seven federal provinces.<br /><br />Although Delhi was one of the major backers of the process over the past decade, it believes the new constitution is not broad-based and is concerned that it could spur violence which could spill over into its own territory.<br />
